TOWAMENCIN — A 28-year-old Hatfield man has been arrested for allegedly stealing and using an 81-year-old woman’s ATM card, a day after Towamencin police released photographs of the suspect taken from ATM security cameras to the public in the hopes of ascertaining his identity.

Alexander Scott Kramlik, of the 1900 block of Overbrook Road, was taken into custody on Friday, Towamencin police Chief Tim Dickinson announced Friday afternoon.

Police had said on June 5 that they were investigating the reported theft and fraud that was reported to them on May 28.

The 81-year-old victim, of the 1200 block of Allentown Road, discovered more than $300 in unauthorized ATM withdrawals from her checking account, police said. She then discovered that her ATM card was not in her possession.

Police alleged that the suspect, identified as Kramlik via the photos, used the victim’s card at an ATM located at the Giant Supermarket at 1700 Cowpath Road in Hatfield on May 11. He withdrew a total of $330 with the card, Dickinson said.

Kramlik was arraigned Friday afternoon before District Judge William Maruszczak of King of Prussia on four misdemeanor criminal counts: Theft, receiving stolen property, access device fraud and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence.

Bail was set at $10,000 cash and Kramlik was committed to Montgomery County Correctional Facility after failing to post bond.

A preliminary hearing before District Judge Harold Borek of Lansdale is scheduled for June 13.

Court records indicate Kramlik is also facing a trial on 18 criminal counts — 9 counts each of theft and receiving stolen property — in a separate case after his arrest by Souderton police in April.
